1N5397-T

Overview

The Diodes Incorporated 1N5397-T is a standard recovery rectifier diode with a 600V peak repetitive reverse voltage and a 1.5A average rectified output current rating. It utilizes a DO-15 through-hole package, designated by the absence of an 'S' suffix in the base model number. The device features a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1V at rated current and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50A. Electrical characteristics are specified at a junction temperature of 25°C, with an operating range from -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Fast switching capability designed for high efficiency applications
• High current handling with low forward voltage drop
• Low reverse leakage current performance
• Surge overload rating supporting up to 50A peak current

Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supplies
• High-efficiency switching circuits
• Industrial power conversion systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Diodes Incorporated documentation. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required packaging format. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any lifecycle status updates prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring robust 1.5A continuous current handling with a 600V blocking voltage. The DO-15 package provides suitable thermal dissipation for general-purpose applications. Consider derating curves for ambient temperatures exceeding 70°C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5391/S through 1N5399/S series of 1.5A rectifiers manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. The datasheet DS28003 Rev. 7 documents the electrical parameters and mechanical specifications for this family of devices.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1N5397 variants from different manufacturers ensuring identical voltage, current, and package specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.

FAQ

What does the '-T' suffix indicate for the 1N5397?

The '-T' suffix designates the DO-15 package variant supplied in a Tape & Reel format containing 4,000 units on a 13-inch reel.

How does the 1N5397 differ from the 1N5397S?

The 1N5397 uses the DO-15 package, while the 1N5397S designation indicates the smaller DO-41 package. Both share identical electrical ratings.
